# Tables

How to create or modify all model input data using the spreadsheets on the Tables ribbon.

The Tables ribbon provides commands to create or modify all input data of a model using spreadsheets.

Spreadsheets provide an alternative method to the graphic input described in earlier chapters. You may combine both methods to create a model quickly.

The spreadsheets support the common clipboard actions such as “CTRL+X” to cut, “CTRL+C” to copy and “CTRL+V” to paste data. You may even share data between the spreadsheets in the ENERCALC 3D and other spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel. For example, you may generate node data in an Excel spreadsheet, copy the nodal coordinate data and paste to the Nodes spreadsheet in the program. In this way, you can take advantage of the more powerful data manipulation functions in the Excel.

In each spreadsheet, you may add one or more rows by clicking the “New Row” button. You may also print data in the spreadsheet by clicking the “Print” button. You have the option to view only the selected data. To do that, click Tables > Show Data for Selected Entities Only. You may not modify the data in the spreadsheet when this option is chosen.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-user-manual/interface/toc175916526/input-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
